1er meet

andrey_gta · 03-09-2012, 09:54 AM

Lets finalize location for Sunday. Its projected to be 13C and sunny!!
So lets find a location outside.

The e90post guys met once at the LCBO across Yorkdale.

There is some space to park especially after LCBO closes and there is Second Cup near by to walk to.

Any other location suggestions?

Sunday

R0n1n · 03-09-2012, 12:40 PM

yeah LCBO is good too, still within the vicinity.

The1 · 03-09-2012, 11:28 PM

What time?

andrey_gta · 03-10-2012, 12:07 AM

I mentioned 130 pm before.
Alternatively, there might be more parking after 5 at the LCBO, so 4pm.

So 1:30pm for the warmth or 4pm for the parking space

The1, if you bring your photography gear will it matter what time is best???

I'm leaning towards 130. Still leaves the day free for other things you may need to do.
The parking situation has just LCBO and maybe HDepot casing issues.

So 130 pm it is.

what's the address? the map just took me to the middle of nowhere.

the 1 o'clock sun isn't the best for pictures, but I can see what I can do. They'll likely end up with some harsh lighting. But still fun to play. Just don't expect perfection with noon time sun, especially since we have the time change. that 1-2 sun will be pretty directly overhead.

andrey_gta · 03-11-2012, 03:42 AM

I forgot about the time change.

Anyway, great photos aside I think this is more about building a good 1er community. There other BMW meets, but so few 1er specific.

130 pm by new time ( 1230 old time if you forgot about Daylight savings)

In front of the LCBO at

90 Billy Bishop Way
Toronto, ON M3K 2C8, Canada

alt address if GPS is faulty
685 Wilson Ave
Toronto, ON M3K 1E3, Canada

there is a lot of 3 series in this area it seems, only few 1ers, most of which tend to be the 128.

I have better luck seeing 135's when I go to London or Toronto it seems

I tryed to drive mine around lots this winter, so if you've seen a white 1er with carbon diffuser on the back, that is me.

R0n1n · 03-11-2012, 11:47 AM

The1 · 03-11-2012, 12:44 PM

Disco stu and andreay are here with at the moment.

The1 · 03-11-2012, 07:10 PM

Here's just a few, lighting was a little intense for the time of day, so I didn't really go all out trying to get the best shots possible.

Let me know if there's any you guys like/want and I can give you bigger versions.
